Nothing seems to be available for dining

Hi

I'm going in September just booked, and their appears to be almost no dining times at the different parks that I can book. Is their a trick to this, a certain time that's best for me to go online and book? Thanks

Short of a glitch in the Disney reservation system, you should realize that people were able to book ADR's for September back around March 1 when they hit their 180+10 day mark. Most/all of the choice restaurants/times have been gone since then. The people booking FD ressies recently who are just now making their ADR's are going to find little to no availability at the choice restaurants/times and will have to settle for other locations. Keep checking though because things do open up periodically. Sorry.

Definitely keep checking. I just got the Chef Mickey breakfast reservation that I've been trying to get for a few weeks. Plus I'll admit that I am someone who is 'hoarding' reservations. I have more TS reservations than I'm planning on using but am waiting to see what we get as far FP+ goes before I cancel the extras (in case my preferred one doesn't work with timing). We are heading to Disney in August and just booked a few weeks ago.

PP is right. But definitely keep checking. I had booked several ressies back at 180 days, but we JUST decided to move to a dining plan right before fd was open to the public.

In the past week I have gotten Chef Mickey at 7:05, Ohana Breakfast before 8:00, CP at 8:15, Fantasmic Package, and a bunch more. All at times I was looking for. I know my friend just got CRT twice. It's possible.

And as the trip gets closer things will continue to open up I think.

I think it really depends on how many people you have. Less than a month out we scored a California Grill reservation for the fireworks, but we only have 2 people. When we go with DH's family (6 people) our trips are rarely planned that far in advance and we have to take what we can get. But we were hoarding reservations until we figured things out better and until we got 7dmt FP+ so we had flexibility, so people will probably give up reservations they don't need closer to the date.

Also make sure to follow the cancellation thread for September on this board. I've cancelled a handful of "harder to get" reservations in the last 2 weeks for 9 people...Cinderella's Royal Table, Chef Mickey, Ohana, Crystal Palace breakfast, etc.

Something must be wrong because I go in 2 weeks and can find some reservations. Go to this thread and look for people who are cancelling then if you find something tell them you want it and they will set up a time that they will let it go into the system so you can get it http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3251535

all of these examples are for one or two adr's. this person sounds like they need a whole vacation of adr's, if this is true they are not going to be able to pull it off. they will be eating at places nobody else wants. like the other poster said, around march these dates opened up. good luck!
